How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

"I'll take care of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros; you handle the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle and the Demon Tiger. Let's bet on who can kill their targets first."

Ye Luofeng's eyes swept over Chen Yu with the chill of autumn, not caring whether he agreed.

She floated down gracefully and unleashed a flurry of ice-sharp sword shadows. The dazzling white Sword Qi struck the "Iron Abyss Rhinoceros".

With one move, she lured the "Iron Abyss Rhinoceros" away,

leaving the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle and the Demon Tiger for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was momentarily stunned.

But the wager seemed to be in his favor.

The strength of the "Iron Abyss Rhinoceros" was definitely much greater than the remaining Demon Eagle and Demon Tiger combined.

Interest sparked among the elders outside the barrier regarding this wager.

"The strength of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros is clearly too strong, even if the five demon beasts from before were to combine, they might not be a match."

"However, Ye Luofeng's cultivation is stronger, she must possess the combat strength close to Innate, otherwise, she wouldn't dare to take on such a big task."

"Chen Yu is less likely to win, after all, he has to deal with two demon beasts, one of which is a flying Postnatal Late Stage beast."

Most elders did not favor Chen Yu's chances.

"What's the wager?"

Chen Yu held the Xuan Heavy Sword in hand, actively luring away the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle and the Demon Tiger.

"The loser must agree to a small, reasonable request from the winner."

Ye Luofeng hastily declared without much thought.

She specified it was a "reasonable" small request, obviously such demands as offering oneself in marriage were out of the question.

"Fine."

Chen Yu's eyes flickered, and a hint of a smile curled the corners of his mouth.

Once the stakes were set, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng focused on handling their respective demon beasts.

Both were confident in their chances of defeating their assigned demon beasts.

It was just a matter of who would finish first.

Chen Yu's challenge lay in dealing with two demon beasts, among them the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle, which was an airborne predator in the Postnatal Late Stage.

If that bird of prey kept circling in the air and refused to come down, it would prove troublesome.

Ye Luofeng's challenge came from the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros, which was strong and its iron armor-like scales provided formidable defense.

"As long as I take down the flier first, victory is mine."

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Regardless,

He still lunged at the other Postnatal Middle Stage Demon Tiger and engaged it in close combat.

Hupang!

With several punches, Chen Yu left the Demon Tiger battered and bloodied, but he didn't deal a fatal blow.

If he killed the Demon Tiger too quickly, it might alert and raise the caution of the "Iron-Backed Demon Eagle", and if it chose not to engage with Chen Yu, the wager would be lost.

"You beast! Where do you think you're running to?"

He intentionally herded the Demon Tiger closer to where the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle was circling.

Moreover, he deliberately left an opening on his backside to lure an ambush attack from the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle.

The Iron-Backed Demon Eagle circled a few times, slightly hesitant, then swooped down to attack Chen Yu.

"Success or failure hinges on this move."

Chen Yu quietly prepared his offensive strategy, his heart building strength within.

After all, he was dealing with a Postnatal Late Stage avian demon beast, higher by two small levels of cultivation.

But just then,

The battle on the other side was already changing.

Shoo-chit!

Ye Luofeng danced through the air, unleashing ice-cold, frosty Sword Qi after Sword Qi, each extending two to three zhang long and layered heavily, forming a sparkling net of ice swords that ensnared the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros.

Moo!

The Iron Abyss Rhinoceros let out pitiful, piercing bellows as its iron armor-like body became covered with deep, bleeding cuts.

At the same time,

A layer of white frost began to form on the beast's body surface, making its massive form appear clumsy and rigid.

"This woman is even stronger than anticipated, easily overpowering the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros!"

"Her sword moves are getting stronger!"

Several elders from the Fu Family wore looks of surprise and delight.

Puchi-chi-chi!

The frosty Sword Qi formed by Ye Luofeng's dance turned into a skyful of icy Sword Qi nets, compounding injuries on the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros's body.

The Iron Abyss Rhinoceros roared and howled, being beaten without any power to fight back.

And it seemed that,

In the next two to three breaths, several piercing and narrow ice-cold Sword Qis would accumulate and strike the head of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros, with blood splattering and rapidly congealing.

The Iron Abyss Rhinoceros was covered with many wounds and enveloped in frost, its battle strength and mobility sharply diminished.

The kill would come within the next few moments.

"It appears that victory belongs to me!"

Ye Luofeng smiled lightly, looking utterly assured.

Meanwhile,

The Iron-Backed Demon Eagle launched at Chen Yu from behind, unleashing a whirl of sharp, screeching, silvery wind blades enveloping Chen Yu.

"Just what I needed!"

Chen Yu exclaimed under his breath.

Swish!

Leaving behind only a faint dark afterimage, Chen Yu's figure abruptly vanished from sight.

Pupeng!

As a result, the dark silver wind cluster and sandstorm unleashed by the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle struck the Postnatal Middle Stage Demon Tiger.

Wuao!

The Demon Tiger let out a piteous howl as it was violently struck and sent flying, barely clinging to life.

And at that moment,

Chen Yu moved with astonishing burst speed to flash into mid-air, closing in right in front of the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle.

This scene greatly startled several elders of the Fu Family.

With Chen Yu's powerful physique, his speed had always far exceeded those of the same level, not to mention that he had just now, already charged power in his heart.

"Evil Qi takes form!"

Chen Yu's arm, marked with bronze patterns, trembled with a faint black True Qi, transforming into a ferocious and sinister giant black python. The evil winds howled around it, violently stirring fears.

Hongbang!

The massive black python opened its gaping maw, and together with Chen Yu's bronze-patterned arm, smashed into the head of the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle, producing a sound like mountains breaking.

In an instant,

The Iron-Backed Demon Eagle's head shattered, blood splattered, and it was annihilated on the spot.

"This is Evil Qi taking form!"

"Just entered the Postnatal Qi Transformation and already able to use the technique of Evil Qi taking form!"

"But what killed this bird was the unexpected burst of speed earlier, that's the key."

The elders of the Fu Family, one by one, had looks of shock on their faces.

After slaying the Iron-Backed Demon Eagle, Chen Yu's gaze subconsciously turned towards Ye Luofeng.

His expression suddenly changed.

He saw that the "Iron Abyss Rhinoceros," was barely alive on the ground.

Ye Luofeng revealed a victor's cold smirk, slowly raising the treasure sword in her hand, tracing a cold rainbow-like arc of icy sword light, its surface emerging with a layer of obscure cyan gloom, slashing towards the rhinoceros's head.

This sword was certain to kill the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros.

While Chen Yu was in mid-air, there was also a barely breathing Demon Tiger on the ground.

By the looks of it, Ye Luofeng had won the wager.

But in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.

Xiuchi!

A dark, arc-shaped spear shadow, dragging a sound like muffled thunder tearing through the air, filled with surging Evil Qi, struck the Demon Tiger on the ground.

"Bang,"

The barely alive Demon Tiger had its head pierced by the javelin, its body thrown back, instantly killed on the spot.

Almost simultaneously,

Ye Luofeng's sword struck the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros.

In a flash, the head of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros bloomed with blood flowers.

The beast kicked with all four legs, not dying immediately, its tenacious vitality allowed it to struggle briefly before finally expiring.

"Sorry, I won."

Chen Yu wore a triumphant smile, his snickering voice spreading throughout the venue.

Ye Luofeng stood in front of the corpse of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros, stunned for a moment.

Her stunningly beautiful face flushed with a rush of red and green, breathing grew hurried, and her fine, snow-white curves subtly heaved, betraying the irritation and resentment within her heart.

Inside the barrier,

Members of the Fu Family's Disciple, with Fu Jing and Fu Hong at the forefront, looked dispirited, with a blow to their pride.

They struggled desperately to withstand the onslaught of the creatures,

While Chen Yu and another had the leisure to wager with the strongest of the Demon Beasts.

Outside the barrier,

The elders of the Fu Family were stunned.

In that moment just now, they had subconsciously thought that Ye Luofeng would win.

After all,

Ye Luofeng's sword was about to kill the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros, while Chen Yu was still in mid-air, yet to deal with the severely injured Postnatal Middle Stage Demon Tiger.

They had not expected,

Chen Yu's javelin, with a thunderous strike, and Ye Luofeng's sword hit their targets almost simultaneously.

Only,

The Demon Tiger killed by Chen Yu was already barely breathing, critically wounded, and died with one blow.

Whereas the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros slain by Ye Luofeng had a trace of ancient beast's bloodline; its physique, its vitality were strong, delaying death for a mere couple of seconds.

Which meant, Chen Yu killed more quickly.

It was this slight difference in detail that led to Ye Luofeng's defeat in the wager.

"I lost,"

Ye Luofeng's clear, slightly cold eyes fiercely glared at Chen Yu, voicing her reluctant admission.

Despite her unwillingness to acknowledge defeat, she had no ground to object.

Indeed,

In the face of the Iron Abyss Rhinoceros, her strength was greater. However, Chen Yu also faced no small difficulty, especially having to deal with two Demon Beasts, one of which was a Postnatal Late Stage Demon Bird.

What's more important is,

Chen Yu's cultivation level was much lower than hers, having only broken through to Postnatal Qi Transformation not long ago.

"Senior Sister Ye, the one who loses a wager has to agree to a small request, you know,"

Chen Yu revealed a smug smile.

His unrestrained gaze roved over the girl's flawless, stunningly beautiful face.

"What do you want?"

Ye Luofeng's face grew taut, a foreboding feeling in her heart.

"Would a kiss be too much to ask?"
